People were FREAKING out at the time I recall, but I was only ten, so don't remember much other than the headlines...and asking my parents if I should still go to school lol.

I was 15 at the time. My parents still live just a few minutes away by car from Sturgeon Creek High. One of my sisters attended that school just a few years before it happened. The jr high I was at is close to SCR, and as I said the guy's younger sister was a classmate of mine.
And just as the article said, there was no 'protocol' in place to handle such an event back then. There was no special counceling for anyone, no one even knew what PTSD was yet. You went on, you dealt, you went back to school the next day and you eventually moved past it and got over it. Or at least that's what everyone thought.
I don't recall anyone calling for a ban on all guns though after this tragedy.
